from the coming-at-you dept.

artlu writes "According to Reuters news, Apple has announced the launch of the 17" MacBook Pro. The new MacBook will retail for $2,799, come with iLife '06, and begins shipping next week. Details are not yet on Apple's website, but hopefully these notebooks will be triple booting as well!"

yes, in fact, it is, but the 20" display is intended to be viewed from further away so it's lower dpi is more excusable. A 1920x1200 17" display is a glorious thing. Hopefully Apple will invent it soon.

Numerous complaints about heat have come up in the Apple 17" annoucement. To this I say remember the test environment. We the Northen Canadians do not run around with jeans and sneakers on. We wear wool long johns and snowpants and snowmobile boots in general. We also are wearing flame-suseptible, three-inch whale blubber sealskin jackets. At all times we layer in the Arctic Area. Layering for the rest of the cool challenged is the concept of multiple 'layers' of clothing between you and your body. I know for those that live in the midwest it makes sense to jump around in an oversized T-shirt, however those of us more north and north of you consider leaving the house with only one North Face fleece jacket on as uncouth.
So therefore, a warm laptop is a good thing, not a bad one. It will provide additional warmth whether you are uploading your seal clubbing statistics from Baffin Island, or selling your gold stocks online from Dawson City.
